Synopsis

The extraordinary, internationally embraced Yi Yi: A One and a Two returns for its 25th anniversary with a 4K restoration. The story follows a middle-class family in Taipei over the course of one year, beginning with a wedding and ending with a funeral. Whether chronicling middle-age father NJ’s tentative flirtations with an old flame or precocious young son Yang-Yang’s attempts at capturing reality with his beloved camera, late Taiwanese auteur Edward Yang deftly imbues every gorgeous frame with a compassionate clarity. Warm, sprawling, and dazzling, this intimate epic is one of the undisputed masterworks of the new century. Winner of Best Director at the 2000 Cannes Film Festival, celebrated again at 2025’s Cannes Classics.
